FOREWORD. 

It is right and good that the Sons of the Ameri- 
can Revolution should feel a just pride in their 
ancestry and in the personnel of its membership 
lineally descended from such sturdy stock. Its 
membership is composed of lineal descendants of 
i^' more than 25,000 active military and civil partici- 
^ pants in the struggle with England for "Liberty regu- 
lated by law." Of the 56 signers of the Declaration 
of Independence, 40 are represented in this society 
by more than 100 patriots of to-day. 

The Sons of the American Revolution has won 
and been accorded recognition as a national insti- 
tution, not as an historic or genealogical association, 
but as a great partiotic organization. 

The membership is really American in spirit, 
for it is not restricted to any particular class ^ of 
citizens. All are welcome, provided they are eligible 
and respectable, and it is a fact that in no other 
organization in this land can more representative 
Americans be found. Presidents of the United 
States, admirals of the navy, generals of the army, 
diplomats, cabinet officers, men in high places in 
legislative, judicial, scientific, professional and mer- 
cantile life. The greatest, the humblest, the richest, 
the poorest, whose ancestors actively helped to es- 
tablish the United States of America, have been wel- 
comed into this organization. The personnel of the 
society forms a roll of which any may be proud. 

"Look not mournfully into the Past ; 
It comes not again. 
Wisely improve the Present 

It is thine. 
Go forth to meet the shadowy future 
Without fear and with a manly heart." 

— Longfellow.

Dear Sir: 

I am directed by the Board of Management to inform you 
that, under the operation of Section 3, Article V, of the 
Constitution of this Society, (all the irequirements of which 
with respect to officers of this Society having been complied

quested to return to the Secretary your certificate of member- 
ship, if one has been issued to you. 

I insert here, for convenience of reference, copy of Section

as is pertinent to the subject matter of this communication: 

"Art. V, Sec. 2. — The Annual Dues shall be payable in

"Art. V, Sec. 3. — When the Dues of any member shall re-

after his membership shall cease; and in case such Dues are

torily accounted for to the Board of Management, he shall 
thereupon cease to be a member." * * * 

You are still indebted to the Society in the sum of $4.00, 
which sum was the amount of your dues which were payable 
in advance on the 22d day of February last year. 
Very irespectfully yours, 

(Signed) Secretary
